The Twelve Days of Christmas

Here are the haiku I've been writing and sharing over the past 12 days at Gillena Cox's blog for her Twelve Days of Christmas celebration.

Christmas morning
 amongst the pine needles
a spider's gift


family gathering ...
the many sounds
of laughter


cemetery visit --
I place a Christmas angel
at his headstone


full moon ...
picking at leftovers
from the fridge


Christmas lilies ...
the way her eyes
light up


packing away
the Christmas decorations ...
another year without her 


New Year's Day ...
the bunch of balloons
hangs shriveled


first dream of the year --
i wake not knowing
which way is up


late Christmas card
call of a peacock
in the distance


somehow
in every room
threads of tinsel


wrapped up
in this Christmas gift, too
his love for me


holiday's end --
the spirit of Christmas
still in the air
